Painting a landscape is painting the atmosphere. When not open, please give us a call 01859-520315, Welcome!

As a portrait painter (MA and Dutch RA) my aim is to capture the essence of that person, the laughter and pureness of a child, the royal aura of a Queen.

Painting a landscape is the essence of the atmosphere, which can be a cold, rainy day or storm lashing the coast or light putting sun on the white sands of Scarista beach.

Sketching is getting to this essence without too much detail, like painting horses, or painting action.

I love to paint and have painted all my life. I love teaching too and watch people master techniques, being able to express themselves through technique, lots of excersice and sometimes we need a bit of luck. I have made many mistakes, have thrown away many trials, have painted hundreds, thousands of paintings and drawings as it is hard to be satisfied with the result, as nature can never been beaten. But... to try is fun!!!

In the NL we had an Art School and International Art Gallery for 20 years. We have taught many many people, mostly adults for all those years and it was fantastic seeing them all love to paint and express themselves. At some point I taught Art and Techniques at Secondary school 2-3 days a week and loved the challenge to motivate young people too. As an artsit I have had the opportunity to meet many diferent people, Ambassadors of many countries sat for me, Royals from Kuwait, India and the NL, lots of children and celebraties, I have been very lucky to meet all these people and also I'm very grateful for all the opportunities given.

Becoming 50 it was time for a change in our lives. We have sold it all, quit two well paid jobs, payed off the mortgage and built together with our sons and good tradesmen 2 cottages and moved to the Isle of Harris, being able to paint the strong atmosphere of the Hebrides and breath space.

We have down sized from a big house into a small, from many studio's into one tiny one where I work and also I teach art at the Harris primairy schools.2 days a week.

On request I also give private painting tuition in all techniques and materials like, water colour, oil, acrylics for beginners and masterclasses. You are very welcome to call in!

I love my freedom, so I'm not open at set times, please give me a call or see if we are in, thank you!

On request I also give private painting tuition in all techniques and materials like, water colour, oil, acrylics for beginners and masterclasses.
